After using the iPad for about 2 years now, I've come to dislike iOS on the iPad. I have a screen that could fit 4 iPhones on it, and yet an interface that has little more utility than my iPhone.
My main gripes with the system are:
1) Multitasking bar - why can't I get a mission control view or a screenshot view?
2) Home screen - far more information could fit on the home screen, not just another extra row of static icons and wide gaps of wasted space
3) Portrait mode - often is just a stretched iPhone screen, only in landscape do you get the two-paned view
4) No iPad exclusives or enhanced offerings - iWork was once only available on the iPad and it worked with the large screen, but now I don't know of any app made just for the iPad that grants it any unique functionality
And more. The iPad is essentially a luxury item and a "big iPod touch." I'm looking forward to Windows 8 tablets that retain the sleek tablet form factor but package a full PC experience with them. Anyone else have quibbles with iOS on the iPad?
